Inspiring home

I recently went on a road trip to Tennessee. My friend Heidi and her husband Joe live on a farm in Hendersonville which is right outside of Nashville. They are both Art teachers as well as fine artists. I have included photo’s of their home and studio’s below because I found their space inspiring. My children were both inspired to create art while visiting because of the environment. Everywhere you look there is work in progress, color or finished art on the walls. It is really important to have a living space that is clearly supportive of the creative process…
